[RESOLVED] a FOR or ARRAY question maybe

MichaelHe

I need script to run 3 times with different info each time

first time: $index='something1';
second time: $index='something2';
third time: $index='something3';

Can I do this for a FOR command that runs 3 times or maybe with an ARRAY command or something ?

I suppose something like this would do that:

$values = array('something1', 'something2', 'something3');

for($i=0; isset($values[$i]); $i++) {
    // do stuff with $values[$i] here...
}

A more canonical version when using an array with a for loop would be:

for ($i = 0; $ i < count($values); ++$i) {
    // do stuff with $values[$i] here...
}

Though perhaps a foreach loop is better:

foreach ($values as $value) {
    // do stuff with $value here...
}

bradgrafelman

I didn't use a foreach() loop since it looked like the array was just a collection of values, meaning the keys of the array were arbitrary and useless.

Either way would work though.

Thanks a lot both of you.... I will try that :o)
